SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703–712) and Fish and Wildlife
Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a–754j–2)
designate the Department of the Interior
as the primary agency responsible for:
• Wise management of migratory bird
populations frequenting the United
States, and
• Setting hunting regulations that
allow for the well-being of migratory
bird populations.
These responsibilities dictate that we
gather accurate data on various
characteristics of migratory bird
populations.
The Mourning Dove Call Count
Survey is an essential part of the
migratory bird management program.
The survey is a cooperative effort
between the Service and State wildlife
agencies and local and tribal biologists.
Each spring, State, Service, local, and
tribal biologists conduct the survey to
provide the necessary data to determine
the population status of the mourning
dove. If this survey were not conducted,
we would not be able to properly
determine the population status of
mourning doves prior to setting
regulations. The Service and the States
use the survey results to:
• Develop annual regulations for
hunting mourning doves,
• Plan and evaluate dove
management programs, and
• Provide specific information
necessary for dove research.

These responsibilities dictate that we
gather accurate data on various
characteristics of migratory bird
populations.
The North American Woodcock
Singing Ground Survey is an essential
part of the migratory bird management
program. State, Federal, Provincial,
local, and tribal conservation agencies
conduct the survey annually to provide
the data necessary to determine the
population status of the woodcock. In
addition, the information is vital in
assessing the relative changes in the
geographic distribution of the
woodcock. We use the information
primarily to develop recommendations
for hunting regulations. Without
information on the population’s status,
we might promulgate hunting
regulations that (1) Are not sufficiently
restrictive, which could cause harm to
the woodcock population, or (2) are too
restrictive, which would unduly restrict
recreational opportunities afforded by
woodcock hunting. The Service, State
conservation agencies, university
associates, and other interested parties
use the data for various research and
management projects.
